Dear, 

How can I be able to remove fields from my invoice template. I would like to remove the field "delivery date" and "source", which are not necessary finally. I would like to do it without using customization, only with Odoo Studio
Version 18.

Thank you for your help!

You can do this directly in Odoo Studio, no need for custom code.

Here’s how:

  1. Open any invoice
  2. Click Studio (top right)
  3. Go to the Report / Print view (this is important — you’re editing the PDF layout, not the form)
  4. Open the invoice report (usually “Invoice” or “Account Move”)
  5. Click on the field you want to remove (like Delivery Date or Source)
  6. Press Delete or hide it using the properties panel
  7. Save and exit Studio

If the field is part of a block (like a group or section), you may need to remove the whole block or adjust the layout slightly.

Also, sometimes fields like “Source” come from internal references, so make sure you’re editing the correct report template, not just the form view. https://8171web-portals.pk/

Hi,
In Odoo 18, there is a limitation when using Odoo Studio only.

You can hide or remove fields from the invoice form view (backend screen) using Studio, but you cannot remove fields from the printed invoice (PDF) using Studio alone.
What is possible with Odoo Studio

You can remove fields like Delivery Date and Source from the invoice form:

    Go to Invoicing → Customers → Invoices

    Open an invoice

    Click Studio

    Select the field (Delivery Date or Source)

    Either delete it or mark it as Invisible

    Save

This only affects the user interface, not the printed document.
Why it does not work for the invoice PDF

The invoice PDF is generated from a QWeb report template (account.report_invoice_document).
Odoo Studio does not allow editing QWeb reports, only form, list, and kanban views.

Because of this, even if the field is hidden in the form view, it can still appear on the PDF invoice.


Hope it helps
